Synopsis

Sebastián, 17, starts administrating, all by himself, his uncle’s little cosy rent-by-the-hour motel on the desolated tropical coast of Veracruz. Adulterous couples or lovers visit the motel. Miranda, 35, a real estate agent, goes occasionally to the Motel with Mario, her lover. Mario often arrives late to their meetings, so Miranda has to wait for him in the empty motel. During that spare time, she will get to know Sebastián and a brief seduction game settles between them. Even if both of them know that their possible relationship can not go farther than a casual encounter, this game of theirs grows ambiguous.
